DIsaPPRovE THE MEASURE.
Threatened DisaEection of Cnionists Over
the Irish Coercion BIZ.


IoKpox, March 2S.-A conference of
Liberal Unionists will be held at the Dsv-
onshire House on Thursday to consider
the Coercion bill. An exchange of views
N the lobbies on the bill disclosed the fact
that several of the Unionists disapproYe
the measure, but the mass of the party
considered its provisions not too stringent.
Lord Harrington and Mr.. Chamberlain
will give thorough support to the whole
proposals. The threatened detection Of
Unionists will probably not succeed ten
votes, leaving the Government still with
potent majority.
The PaTnell1tes held an informal meet
ing and united IN denouncing what they
termed the atrocious character of the cOer-
cion bill. This measure, they said, con-
cealed under its provisions powers for the
extinction of the liberties of the press,
public meetings, free speech and all indi-
vidual rights. The Parnellites disregard
the threats OF Mr.. Smith to continue the
debate until the second reading of the bill.
They say that if the protractiOn OF the sit
ting results in test of physical endurance
they will be ready for the struggle.
1t IS the opinion of many persons that
Dir. Balfours speech, which was of great
length, was weak, diffuse, confused and
poiDtless, and that on the first chance he
has had to show if he was capable of rising
to a great occasion he has made notable
failure.
Mr.. Parnell has postponed the introduc-
ton of his amendment until he consults
with his colleagues.
Lord Harrington is about to issue a man
Ifesto through new Unionist paper. Ia
il he ssys: 1--WE are confronted at the pres
ent moment with a more acute form of the
problem of Ireland than has ever been pre-
sented in past times. The difficulties of
fhe problem have been intensified by the
action of the Liberals, who, suddenly dis
cardiDg every remedy hitherto approved
by them, have made d change of front un-
psralleled in completeness and rapiCity,
and adopted the policy of the avowed enc
mics of the integrity OF the British Empire.
Their action has stimuls Ted tine courage
and hopes of the seperatists. II is the duty
of the Liberal Unionists now to endeavor
to bring back the Liberals 10 their faith in
constitutional reform, resoiutely exposing
the delusion that the abandonment OF
principles Of the sacrifice of any class of
their countrymen can be an act of courage
or justice"
Referring to the coercion bill he says:
mot q single Unionist believes N coercion
as policy, but all believe in the necessity
OF every civilized country asserting the
supremacy of the law. The object of the
separatists is TO prove that the Government
of Ireland, as part of the United King
dom, is an impossibility, with or without
reform. The object of the Unionists must
be to prove the union indissoluble, while
doing justice to Ireland"
The whole tone of the manifesto Judi
Gates that there will be no compromise.
